Allow to open the booking widget with a deeplink
There are currently two ways to open the booking engine and I would like to see them combined.
- Standalone: to open the booking engine with a URL on a new tab/page of the browser. It also allows deeplinks to preselect language, currency, dates, persons, category etc.
- Widget: to open the booking engine in a, iframe popup overlay by creating a button with the class 'distributor-open' and without link.
I would like to use a combination of them, so open the widget with a deeplink.
It should be as easy as adding the deeplink to a button with the class 'distributor-open'. At the moment that doesn't work, the deeplink is ignored and the booking engine opens in the first step.
Reason for this request
The widget gives a better user exerience then the standalone engine, because with the widget the guest remains on your own website. On the other hand, the deeplink allows you to open the booking engine with predefined parameters, which are not possible with the widget (unless you create your own engine using the API).
